Mild eggplant in oil is a savory, Mediterranean-style dish where tender eggplant slices or cubes are lightly sautéed or marinated in a flavorful oil, often infused with garlic, herbs, and spices. The eggplant absorbs the oil, becoming soft and smooth in texture, while maintaining a delicate, slightly sweet taste. Typically served as an appetizer, side dish, or topping for bread, this dish is often paired with a drizzle of vinegar or lemon juice for a balanced tang. Its mildness makes it versatile, complementing various main courses or enjoyed on its own with a slice of crusty bread.
